Emma's anxiety started as a freshman in high school. She'd always been shy, but the anxiety was starting to rule her life. She was teased and ridiculed. She hoped for a fresh start at her new school when her family moved just in time for her junior year. She was tired of living a life too afraid to have friends. She was constantly bullied because of her anxiety, and she didn't think going to a new school would be any different. It wasn't until she met a group of guys with their own problems that she begins to think that maybe she can overcome her anxiety and actually have friends again.
